We have received the complete new range of new Fusions by Kaufman - so many bolts that it was much better to scan the shade card to show you the whole range!

 

I told you I could not resist the gorgeous new pattern called Meg's Garden... well, it is still very much work in progress but it is taking shape...

 

1 We have added a new class to our list. It will take place on November 28th (2-5pm at the shop). If you would like to make this lovely memory board, come and join us! It would make a really nice Christmas present.

Just a word of warning: they are a bit addictive... I have already made 2 and I have 5 more in the pipeline!!

I am very grateful to Jane Coombes for lending me her made up sample of the Skillbuilder 1. It is a preprinted panel that allows you to practise your free motion quilting.

There is a second panel that concentrates on feather designs.

Panel £9.75 each

A booklet is also available (see book section further below), it is not indispensable but it has some very good technical advice.

What do you get a quilter who has every single gadget there is to be and whose stash would compete with her local shop? How about a nice patchwork mug, complete with china coaster and pretty tin?
